AN ANALYSIS OF PRICE BEHAVIOUR OF RICE
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
The price of agricultural commodities is inherently unstable, volatile, primarily due to the variation in their supply, lack of proper market integration and information. To counter this, MSP for major agricultural products is fixed by the Government, each year. Compound growth rates of MSP (Minimum Support price), wholesale price, farm harvest price and farmers expected prices to be almost similar but slightly high for MSP (6.88%) during the period 1997-98 to 2016-17. The analysis of the relationship between MSP, wholesale price and farm harvest price showed a positive relation. The farmers expected price of rice depends on previous year expected as well as actual prices significantly and positively at 1 per cent level of significance. The farmers expected prices were found to be higher than the previous year MSP. However, the increase in expectation has been narrowing down over time.
